Revamping of the website(forum) as a whole

Hey Logan and Wendell,

Its my first time visiting your forum while i was following your youtube videos

things i like about your video product reviews, INBOX video, The TEK and interviews with JJ on the Asus products gives me more insight on the many products and current issues.

The website do look alright to me, but I feel it does need a revamp in some way or another

the sidebars feels empty/unused

this is especially for the forum

one thing i noticed in the forum is missing is a search function to allow users to search the forum for older topics which may have been answered before.

Another area to improve is trying to shrink the viewing of the sub-sub forums instead of showing them all at once

well it mean taking more time to navigate around the forums, but it helps present the forum in a neater way.

I do hope my inputs may help the website abit

btw what sort of program is used to code and run the website?

Thanks

Regards

I agree totally with the search feature, I can't tell you how many times I've been like "aww man Logan and Wendell did a video on this" but I couldn't find it.

the new website is in the works as we speak. 'TekSyndicate 2.0' is going to be completely new. Instead of just trying to improve this one and muck about, Logan and Wendel have decided that they are going to start from scratch and rebuild the whole thing from the ground up. It'll take a bit of time but it will be worth it in the end. I dont know if you know this or not but Wendel runs a company that does website design, so Logan is paying some of Wendel's staff to help out with the new site.

There is a suggestion forum for features of the new site (its at the very bottom, last on the list). From what i have heard from Logan, the search thing is a big one, as well as some sort of 'upvote' type ability so that the best answers get shown first. Also, a way to customize your front page thing a bit like reddit is also in the works. But yes, a new website is on the way :)

ahh didnt see the last section, smacks head

well yea good to hear TekSyndicate 2.0 is coming *double thumbs up*

maybe you guys could place suggestion section right at the top instead

now about the youtube video, i do know logan is gonna interview some guests in the near future

how about giving fans a heads up about the guest who will be interviewed

linus tech tips been doing some live stream and bringing in guest and logan was on the show on one occasion.

will be great to see how it goes in the new website

I do hear you guys are quite understaffed, have you ever consider getting the guys like Tech of Tommorow or Linus Tech Tips to help you guys do joint product review? beats having to do all the reviewing job all by yourself and giving the viewer a wider view on each product.

 

thanks again for the quick reply

I like the subtle new changes, the black outline around the page is nice, and the addition of a default avatar for users that haven't uploaded one is very good.

I love the look of the website as it is honestly,but i guess if they built this one, they can built a new and better one
